Wouldn't surpise me tbh.

I disagree, the instability is internal, much of it spurred on by the press. The country is still running, quite well I might add, nobody's life is in danger, legislation is still being passed, peoples money is still in the bank, the wheels of justice keep turning. There is no need for an...

Oh come on, the overwhelming majority won't back him like he wants, nor will Gillard step aside like he wants. It's not over in the same way that there's still a theoretical chance that Bob Carr could be the next leader - it isn't actually going to happen.

oh FFS, I thought the media might FINALLY give it a rest. but oh no, apparantly because there was no vote then we can't be sure that gillard has the support of caucus. this was Rudd's last chance, he didn't take it, it's over, Gillard will go to the next election as PM and leader of the Labor...

Surely Crean didn't act unilaterally though, who actually organized it. Did Crean fall on his sword to put the issue to bed?

About to go into a meeting what's the best blog to keep up with events on?

Wasn't the motion only to allow another motion to be moved though? Any clue how they would have voted on no confidence itself?

Given swan isn't incompetent, yes he can

I don't think it will help much. But I'm so over hearing about it - at the very least every journalist in the country can finally shut up about it.

Full sentences usually help.

Friday though? Won't Thursday be the last sitting day and they'll all be on planes by then? Also, if they don't have the numbers, will they shut the fuck up.

Thank god, I'm sick of hearing about the leadership, honestly(although I think a lot of it is a media beat up, I think Hartchers uncorroborated opinion parading as fact is the worst example)

2.1 A member of parliament shall be paid a base salary of $190,550 per annum.

You just dump one of then. Easy. I don't see the problem. It's pretty unlikely you'll end up with either of them if you board anyway.
